That's funny. It is done by the Pioneer Press...Quote:

Put me in, coach! I feel great!

Maybe more fun than any other article this year.
Note:
John Bonnes - stomach punch
FrodaddyG - four horsemen
williepbananas - pointing out that someone misread TOT (total) for Toronto
edavis0308 - Black Knight
etc.
I love this place.
How about a Gibson-Harden-Worley for 1-2-3 punch?Quote:

Yes, he has. He really, really has. Much like the writer's "typo" in the Correia article yesterday, there's plenty of reason to doubt the pitcher in question without gussying up the case against him.Quote:

The idea of trading Harden at the deadline is an interesting one, and I'm guilty of overlooking it.
One of the things I don't like about the Twins signings this winter is that they have these guys with health issues, but don't have any option years on them. But both Pelfrey and Harden could conceivably be flipped at the deadline. Not for anything special, but maybe a AA guy who looks like he's going to develop into a serviceable shortstop, or a AA pitcher that might be a mid-rotation starter or a power bullpen arm.
Isn't Pelfrey the only signing that this applies? And if he is good and healthy midseason I would guess an extension would be more likely than a trade.Quote:
